Q:

Will loctite inside the tank blow it up! ?

Im in the process of building some drop in archery kits for the condors and in amping up the power for the arrows I have turned the brass valve spring retainer out 1 1/2 turns to lighten the pressure needed to open the valve. I’ve made 100s of shots with no failures or air dumps, but Im concerned about the possibility of the spring retainer backing out completely over time. If I place a little blue loctite on the threads is there any danger in a reaction inside the tank with compressed air?

Thanks,Tag

j/k DONT do this

I just took my condor vave apart and the retainer was lock tighted from .A.F. Marvin

Thanks, Adam 😀

If you do it right the loctite will harden and dry when screw tite. It only cures in the absence of air.
